Default Diseased money tree and is it a money tree?

g'day cynthia,

sounds like you have the common jade i think it is either chinese or
japanese jade.

i find them very robust and they pretty much survive on neglect, they
will go for dry other than wet, and like a good dose of sun where you
can.

i grow them all the time can't kill 'em with a broad axe, water them
when i think about it.

not sure about diseases but if you ahve any branches that are
unaffected even the tinyest tip end, i would suggest you take some
cuttings stick these into pots of regular potting mix water as they
dry out and they will sprout. once sprouted some slow release fert'
might help.

i think the theory is that you have a plant at the front and back
door, and you never supposed to be out of money ie.,. always enough
for a loaf of bread or bottle of milk whatever, don't reckon on
winning lotto all of a sudden chuckle.
